FLOUR FALLING OFF.
The Water Power Bad--EXpOrts
Lighter But the Market Good.

Lighter But the Market Good.
Reviewing the milling situation of the
week. the Northwestern Miller will say:
There was perceptible falling off in
the flour output last week, as a result of
the poor water power. The total product
was 141,9OO barrels-averaging 24,650
barrels daily-againSt l55, 800 barrels the
previous week. and 161, 100 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1886. One
more mill is running this week, but it is
not Of large capacity. All but two OF
the whole number of twenty-three are
thus in operation. but good deal of this
capacity is made ineffective by reason of
the low water. The water power re-
mains extremely short, and two or three
mills. although making a labOred effort
to keep their machinery going, are not
able TO grind much. Others are not as
seriously affected, but their product at
the same time is in greater or less de-
gree reduced. Thus there are none de-
pending on water alone that are wholly
free from interference. One less mill IS
using steam, but that is supposed to be
Oniy for a few days, while repairs are
being made to an engine. One OF the
mills most affected by low water will be
closed down next week for improve
mentS TO its power apparatus. This mill
has LOO barrels capacity, and will be
idle two weeks or more. Several others
are likely to stop work early in Decem-
Der for a similar purpose. Empty ears
are still scarce, and the difficulty of get
ting them is source OF much annoyance
to shippers For several days past the
-four market has been decidedly quiet,
sales falling off to small figure with
most of the mills, but the demand in
wheat this week has stimulated the de-
mand for flour, and much more business
is being done at firm prices. Foreign
trade is the most improved, the call for
flour being fair at quotations not obtain
able formerly. The most notable feat
ure of last weeks operations was the
light amount of flour exported. only
46,SOO barrels, against G0,9OO the proceed
ing week"

People Arrested for Stealing

steak.
The police court docket yesterday did
not contain any cases of a sensational
nature. There were two or three lar
ceny cases, however of a rather unusual
nature. Tim Sullivan and Grant Gray
were arraigned for the theft of a slice
of beefsteak from John A. Filchet, bet
ter known as Coffee john" but the
complaint was withdrawn. 1t seems
the Young men could not get what they
wanted to eat at Johns restaurant so
they cody appropriated a steak and
walked off.
Mrs. w. c. GammOns, who lives Cd
Twenty-eighth street south, was charged
with the larceny of a Speckled hen from
B. uafenbach. She was recognized in
500 for her appearance.
G. COIman was up for the larceny or
a bottle of bay rum from Hotfman'S
drug store, but thu case was dismissed.
John Gaffney, truckman, was
charged with the larceny of two trunks
by Mrs. Abbie Z. Bryant. 1t appeared
he had retained the trunks for the pay
ment of a bill for services rendered, land
the case was dismissed.
Daniel Davies, Switchman in charge
of the East Minneapolis yard, was fined
SO for allowing train of ears to block

OSGOODBY HAS FLOWN.
The Government Officers Miss
Him--His Bad Record.

Him--HiS Bad RECORD.
The latest story of OSgOOdby is not
greatly to his credit. Its seems now
that he inaugurated his career in Min
neapolis by swindling farmer named
c. J. Archdeacon, who lived near Man
kato, out of about $500 of hard-earned
money. OsgOodby learned ArchdeacOn
had the money, so he sprung on him the
fascinating story OF his Empire News
company" ArchdeacOn bit, and is out
his money. The firm was made Arch
deacon u Co., and the identity of OS-
goodby was lost, but his work was there,
all the same. Over $500 letters came to
the firm, but Archdeac0n claims to have
received not Il cent.
Inspector Adsit has returned home
and SAYS he will have OsgOodby in
dicted and then arrest him. There was
evidently some bungling work done, as
OsgOOdby learned of the presence of
the detective here and has incontinently
fed. His brother saw the letter carrier
brought on TO identify w. Gardner Os-
gOOdby and told of it, WhereupOn the
brother got away. \. Il. OSgOodby says
his brother has only fastened to Buff
falO. when he will surrender himself
and get immediate bail, but this IS gen
orally doubted.
Another interesting part of the story
is the connection of OSgOodby with the
Star-NewS. 1t will be remembered he
went into the office as assistant business
manager as a part of the deal which
closed out the News. 1t was supposed
the Star people knew their own bust
ness. but at the same time there was
considerable surprise expressed that
they should take in a man who was so
evidently a lamentable failure. Mr..
NimockS says they realized this and fired
Osgoodby last week, but the brother of
the latter says an offer of 800 was made
him to surrender the contract. At all
events, OsgoOdby has gone, and will
scarcely return in hurry. Inspector
Adsit says he has clear case, and
Postmaster Ankeny agrees with him.

Speaking of hotels at the West last
night he remarked he never saw any
thing finer than its exchange and the
dining room floor, but thought above
that there was an awful dreary
look to the interminable row
of doors and the great barrack
like corridors, and suggested that So
fas here and there would greatly add
to the appearance and pleasant aspect
of the upper floors in the big building.
He further said that otherwise there
was nothing east could compare with the

An Effort to Identify Barrett as

the TOiiefSOn Murderer.
The grand jury yesterday considered
the testimony of a number of wit
nesses tending to show that Tim
Barrett, arrested by Capt. Hankinson
Tuesday evening, is the man who has
been holding up people in South Mime
apolis and Fort Smelling. 1t is rumOred
that the police, by a chain of clrcum-
stantial evidence. have succeeded in eS-
tablishing either the probability or pos
sibility that Barrett is the murderer OF
GustaYe Tollefson, the Cedar avenue
street car conductor. Capt. HankinsOn
was asked last evening if there was any
truth in the report, but refused TO give
a direct answer, simply saying, I'VE
have been working on the TOllefSOn
case ever since the murder occurred. L
do not care to say whether the develop
ments point to Barrett as the man who
fired the fatal shots. Just wait and
see"
The impression prevails in police cir
cles that an effort will be made to indict
Barrett for murder. There is no doubt
that what evidence the police possess in
this connection has been laid before the
Jury. but what the result will be can
only be cOnjectured.
Barrett is still at the lookup, and the
privilege of seeing him has been denied
10 reporters.

HIS POCKET SPRUNG A-LEAK.

Two elegantly dressed ladies and a
gentleman, attired in the heighth of
fashion, occupied a box at theater
yesterday afternoon. The gentleman
was swell, j. e., he was all swelled up,
both by self-esteem and frequent liba-
tons. He sent for the water boy
and borrowing a small drinking glass,
produced bottle of Mumm'S extra from
the recesses of his OvOrcOat pocket. The
ladies, however. objected to the public
ity, and pOintedly remarked that they
declined sharing in any scheme to con-
vert box at theater into blind pig.
The swell was obliged to re-
turn his bottle to his pocket.
He had previously had the
wires removed and a rubber cork in
serted. When the play was over the
trio walked leiSurely down NicOllet av-
enue. Suddenly there was an explo-
sion; the swell clapped his hand to his
pocket, but in spite of his strug-
giles a stream of sparkling liquid
escaped from his OvercOat pocket,
and dimmed the luster of his glossy lyle.
With an exclamation which sounded
like all oath. he pulled the bottle from
his pocket and madly emptied it into
the middle of the street, where it CUR
gled forth its contents upon the cedar
block pavement.
He looked black in the face, the ladies
bluShed, and the pedestrians laughed.

A. T. Ankeny-I don't know much
about the distribution of street lamps,
but l do know thas Western avenue has
not one to which it is not properly en-
titled. That avenue is one of the most
important in the city, and the extreme
limit of lights is closer to the business
center than is Lake street. The lamps
should not be set out in the country. and
if this is done on other streets, it ought
to be discontinued. But Western ave-
nue., why, that's away down town.
George X. Shaw-YeS, yes, you are
right. When l wrote that editorial on
Sunday papers 1 forgot the recent
statute making them legal. That's

DEAR MAJOR:

DEAR MAJOR:
If you can ever find time to
take a lay-off, you should by all
means, come down and 20 fish
lag along with the crowds hat arc
daily coming here trem all parts
of the country-White Oaks, Lin
coin, Ell Paso, Las Cruces-to
breathe our mountain air, and
sport among the speckled beauties,
for which Eagle Creek and Ruido-
so are famous.
Come, yes, come, and visit the
country, where "the continual
singing of the birds, the blooming
of the flowers, and the voice of
the turtle is heard in the land"
1t is with pardonable pride when
we say this is II of the finest
summer resorts on earth, and III
view of this, and more too, a no
tel and watering place should be
the next thing in order.
The Lincoln County Alliance
has come and gone. 1t lasted two
days, in which our motto, "In
=.
things essential, unity, and in oil
things, charity" was never more
fully exemplitied. The order is
steadily increasing in numbers and
ere long will be a power in the
land. We are glad to know that
the LEADER, true to the eternal
principle of justice to all, IS giving
us It's hearty support. Although
it's editor perchance, may not be a
member, it is to be hoped he will
from time to time, give US advice
that will bring success, and at the
same time point out dangers to be
averted. In the council of many
there is wisdom.
1t is reported that the Indians
are becoming dissatisfied with their
local government, and that they
are roaming about fully armed,
killing young cattle belonging to
neighboring ranchmen, and running
their stock here and there as best
suits their devel,sh purpose. l
these things are allowed to go un
checked, serious trouble is sure tC
follow. While on the Indian sub
ject, the question very properly
suggests itself {: what in the nam,
